3 Month Check-up

Well, I saw my surgeon today for my 3 month check-up and I have now lost 75 pounds!!! YAY ME!! Also, as an added bonus I have broken the 300 mark! That's right, I now weigh 298! I'm kind of in shock. It's been like 5-7 years since I've weighed less than 300 pounds! I am so happy that this tool is working for me! One thing, I have this thing where I keep thinking I'm not really going to lose anymore. Does anyone else go through this? Tina

Yep, sure do.....But so far this is the most I have ever lost with consideration to ANY other program I ever was on. Biometrics--almost 50 but not quite--about 47 (in a 2 year timespan), and Weigh****chers for one year and only lost 40, and then gained all back plus extra for good luck I guess...LOL...You know what I mean . I was at 320 when I met my husband 14 years ago--we have been married now for 12 years. I got down to 301 doing the Biometrics program in 1997-1999, but never broke the 300 mark. I WILL THIS TIME THOUGH!!! It took me a lifetime to get this big and I know I'm not going to change overnight... Mandie

Congrats! Keep up the good work! Hugs, Nicole

You GO GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome. I am so happy for you.... Sue 273/261/201/150

Tina I had my 3 mo ck up today too. I have lost a total of 70 lbs. 24 pre op and 46 post op. I think its a little slow but I will take it. Congrats on your success. You are doing a great job, hugs Pam

Congrats . Doesn't it make ya feel great? Today was my 3 month check also. Each time I step on the scales, I am in awe. I have never lost this much, especially not in this short time period. I am 53 pounds down, getting close to the 200 mark. I am truly amazed. Bravo to all of us.

Tina, Way to go!! I have my 3 mo (12 week) check up next week. I have to go a little early, because my surgeon isn't going to be in the office the next week. I am down 55 lbs. so far, and I am loving it. I saw my PCP today, and she told me to stop taking my BP medicine. I have been taking that for about 15 yrs. I have to go back in a month to see how my BP is doing. I hope I am off of that med for good. That will mean I have achieved on of the goals I had for this surgery. I am so happy for you. You are really doing well. You must be so proud of yourself for making thedificult decision to have this surgery. Linda

TINA THAT IS WONDERFUL>>>> CONGRATS>>> AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! PAttiann

Tina, First of all you go girl. I too lost 75lbs. total. what a wonderful feeling. But you are not alone when it comes to feeling you will not lose more but WE will. So don't worry about it ok!!!! It just takes a little longer for some of us. I also know how you feel to finally get under the 300lb. mark. The day I did I was for joy. too!! Now I can't wait to get under the 200lb. mark That's my mini goal HUGS Cheri ;wave:

congrats on your great success! My 3 month was also today. I have lost 63 pounds! I haven't weighed under 180 in 15 years!! I am utterly amazed!! Today I had to buy uniforms for the winter. I was shocked when I put on XL pants and had to go to a large.....mediums for the tops. Whodathunk it? Keep up the great work!! Have a great weekend!! Anjanette
